Pro Bono Program

We are seeking attorneys, social workers and medical professionals who can accept cases on a pro bono basis.

Legal Services

Clients need attorneys to accept full representation cases. Immigration cases may include T-Visa, U-Visa, Asylum, and VAWA cases, among others. Civil cases include actions against notarios and traffickers. Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking require family law attorneys to help with civil protection order, divorce, custody and child support cases. Attorneys who accept full representation cases will benefit from a one-on-one mentor relationship with an Ayuda staff member, tip sheets, and sample pleadings. In-person trainings may also be available.

Ayuda also needs pro bono support for consultation clinics. Attorneys who volunteer for Ayuda’s clinics will benefit from on-site mentorship and easy-to-use intake materials. Immigration experience is useful but not necessary. We truly value language skills, as many of our clients speak languages other than English.

For their safety, security and well-being, all Ayuda staff, interns and volunteers will be teleworking until further notice. We will continue to support our clients during this difficult time, but we need your help.

Your gift today will help fund our critical work to provide quality legal services, comprehensive social services and language access services to low-income immigrants in D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

In a time of social distancing and isolation, it is more important than ever that we come together and let the most vulnerable in our community know they are not alone.
